Description

Glucosamine, an amino sugar, is the main component of the cartilage matrix in the joints and in the discs of the spine. The synovial fluid contains glucosamine which supplies the cartilage with nutrients. This is of great importance for the renewal of the cartilage.

The trace element manganese supports the formation of connective tissue (including cartilage), since it is involved in the synthesis of proteoglycans, a coenzyme of glycosyltransferases.

Functions of vital substances:

Manganese contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal connective tissue

Manganese contributes to protecting cells against oxidative stress
